My take on Cam Newton

The key question then remains : is Newton willing to play 2020 on his current contract? 

Or, does Cam have any leverage to demand an extension or threaten a holdout given the fact he's coming off a foot surgery and hasn't played since week 2? Not to mention the shoulder surgeries the past couple years.

IMO, he's not in a position of power to make any demands.

...Cam is totally in the driver seat and all scenario outcomes favor him... Dont BS yourself.

Without a quality o- line,  it doesn't matter.

But the easy completions are the ones he has a hard time hitting....?

Very true. Well really more that he wasn't consistent on the easy completions. Though it did appear that he improved on those issues early last season before the Pittsburgh game. But we may be seeing now that those easy completions aren't so easy when your offensive line is sitting in your lap every time you make a pass. Not an excuse, just an observation.

Cam is in the back seat not the drivers seat.  Don’t BS yourself when he has missed a year and a half to injuries.

Thank you for this. People kill me with the Cam's just a running QB and he's gonna get hurt again running. I always ask them so when did he get hurt running again? 

Cam makes throws that a lot of "elite" QBs can't make. His biggest issue has been not having an OC that could dial up the 4 or 5 easy completions that would bump his percentage over 60% so people could stop focussing on that stat line. 

Cams career passing stats are Allen's

I've always said he gets hit in the pocket then when running 

It doesn't matter where he gets injured. The result is that the injuries are real things that seriously and negatively affected his ability to both run and throw. 

Debating the reason why it happened doesnt negate the affect. No matter how hard you wish for it hes not getting younger and without his run game his career passing stats are basically not much more than 2019 Kyle Allen.

The foot worries me more than the shoulder in the sense that it is a breakdown of the body during normal athletic activity. He has another foot. Other body parts.

I am not sure what I'd do if it were my call. A seemingly healthy Cam would bring a haul.

Excellent article

   But I still want him playing for any other organization besides this one. Coming back to this disaster should be a last resort for him.

Cam the GOAT.  Doubt him at your own risk.

You nailed it in that Cam as a runner hasn't taken viscous hits aside from the Clete f'n Blakeman Bowl 2015 which was 1985 rules for Cam and Cam only.

I wouldn't bet against Cam Newton. If Teddy Bridgewater can come back from his horrific injury, why are there "serious concerns" about Cams minor surgery?

Because he has had problems coming back without lingering issues from his previous surgeries.
